Ingredients

  • 4 large ripe avocados

  • ½ lime juiced, plus more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeño or finely chopped serrano

Instructions

  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. Remove the avocado from the skin and place the avocado flesh into a bowl.
  • Add the lemon juice, lime juice, red onion, chives, jalapeño, salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until half smooth and creamy. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

I'll never not recommend frying your own chips, but you can also grab a bag from the store or use this amazing guacamole on tacos.
